Ampalaya Guisado

Sauteed Bitter Melon  With Pork & Egg 



Ampalaya or bitter melon are always on hand at every market around Manila & most of Asia.  It's
bitter alright but it's packed with vitamins & minerals our body needed.  A miracle vegetable for some 'cause it's said to be good for diabetics.  Some claimed it to have an insulin-like effect.                                                  
                                         
Whatever be the cause it's really is good & great with eggs!  Sauteed with ground pork or dried    
shrimp or hibe .  You'll never go wrongwith these combination.                                                                   

Don't overcooked them, just retain it's vibrant green color to savor it's true flavor.  Don't forget to
add salt & pepper to taste.  Enjoy.  Best paired with fried galunggong or mackerel scad.
